DeepChord

Profile:

Deepchord was originally a partnership of Rod Modell and Mike Schommer, but later became a solo project of Rod Modell. The sounds at work are predominantly those associated with dub-techno: dubby beats, crisp static, synthetic analogue grooves, and deep chords.

I remember buying 4 or 5 records by these guys at the DEMF. They were stamped with a number and DEMF on them. I bought them on a whim and played them the next day, I thought my speakers were knackered! I was pissed and wanted to exchange them for different ones that weren't messed up. After I found out that they records are supposed to sound like that, I began "listening" to them. This stuff is very deep and require an open mind and some time to get your brain around them. Amazing sounds. Think Basic channel but with the master tapes set in a box with pot smoke blown all over them to coat them and then bury them in the ground(Lee Perry allegedly did this before) for a few years and then take them out and master them to vinyl. :) Really though, very original sounding stuff and very deep and beautiful. I'll assume everything Rod and co. do is brilliant, though I have only heard about a dozen or so records that were produced by them.
